I've been day drinking with Sam and Randy and I want to know if I can get a plus 2 for the party?
Posted by Z | December 20, 2012 4:09 PM
Have you met Reeko?
Posted by Jack Bog | December 20, 2012 4:09 PM
Thanks for the invite Jack. First it’s off to the square to get our photo with Santa. See you all a little later, and save some ice! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Portland-Santaland/142953692421506?sk=wall&filter=12

Merry Christmas everyone! Off to ZooLights with the family, but I'll stop by again later. Jack, do you have plenty of carrots and apples for a possible baby elephant guest later...might be a good night for a "rescue." Lol
Posted by NoPoGuy | December 20, 2012 4:14 PM
Yes, and I also have some cattle prods and bullhooks to help "train" them. Maybe we should use those on Tom Hughes.
Posted by Jack Bog | December 20, 2012 4:16 PM
Sam wants to specifically meet with Stenchy and his tough guy cousin Reeko about a potential job opprtunity as the new spokesrodents for the North Plains composting facility. Randy wants to bring the Hit Squad to your office party to check for proper permits.
Posted by Z | December 20, 2012 4:17 PM
One request: If you go in the hot tub, you must go in completely naked. The detergent residue in any kind of clothes wrecks the water.
Posted by Jack Bog | December 20, 2012 4:25 PM
Excuse me? Can I get through with these?
Posted by Jack Bog | December 20, 2012 4:29 PM
BACON!
Yum!
I got an extra large bottle,of Tequila! Limes and salt over there! Next to the meat nativity.
Sure am glad I don't have to drive tonight!
Posted by Portland Native | December 20, 2012 4:33 PM
Reeko! Gled ta meetcha!
Posted by Portland Native | December 20, 2012 4:34 PM
Reeko, she's not old enough for that.
Posted by Jack Bog | December 20, 2012 4:45 PM
Hot tub?
Posted by Portland Native | December 20, 2012 4:50 PM
Yeah! But get in there before you-know-who.

Jack Bong, who'da thunk.
That nativity scene is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Where's my Brandy Alexander? They're not just for breakfast anymore.

Vancou-veuver...que rico!
Mi, un grande Anejo Centenario on the rocks. No blunt for this Cabron.
Aii Amigos, Salud!

Were out of the anejo, but we have a fresh bottle of the reposado.
Posted by Jack Bog | December 20, 2012 5:25 PM
Thanks for the invite Jack. Here's a jug of homemade eggnog.
I tried to follow my Grandma's recipe but I opted to double the bourbon and toss in 500 mg of Lipitor.
Posted by PanchoPDX | December 20, 2012 5:27 PM
There's at least two people in the powder room. Is that allowed?

Uh oh. Billy the cat's been spraying under the Christmas tree again.
Posted by Jack Bog | December 20, 2012 5:30 PM
Deja el partido! Let's hope Santa hits our place before he starts eating the cookie treats up north.
Thought a nice old fashioned Christmas tune would be fitting..

Oh. And sorry I'm late -- I had trouble finding a parking place.
Posted by Allan L. | December 20, 2012 5:31 PM
Is that a roach clip? It's been a while.....cough, ahem, wheew....
Whoa, I think I see the Grinch's face in one of the deviled eggs.

Have you met Ryan? He's our new block captain.
Posted by Jack Bog | December 20, 2012 5:33 PM
Merry Christmas to you and your family, Jack.
I'm going to be careful this year and just drop by for a second. To those of you who weren't there, I left last year's Cyber-Office Christmas Party on a police forklift.
Posted by Bill McDonald | December 20, 2012 5:35 PM
Shoulda known the music was gonna be first-rate. You're encouraging the slow-dancing ... never too much.

Posted by Jack Bog | December 20, 2012 5:45 PM
Jack... Been to a lot of parties this year. Yours has been the best by far...love the decor, food and tunes...the conversation has been sparkling I will look forward to each year!!!
Posted by Kimberlee Jaynes | December 20, 2012 5:45 PM
Here is the salmon filet I've been soaking in vodka for the last 48 hours.
Really Dirty martini anyone? It'll go with those eggs.
Posted by Portland Native | December 20, 2012 5:46 PM
And how did you get the picture of my grand parents, Jack?
Just goes to prove everything! is now available on line these days.
Posted by Portland Native | December 20, 2012 5:48 PM
Just when I'd eaten every last prosciutto-wrapped asparagus, out come the potstickers.
Those eggs hurt my eyes.
Posted by sally | December 20, 2012 5:51 PM
Hey, can you guys keep it going? I'm going to make a quick run to the store to pick up something for the grill.
Posted by Jack Bog | December 20, 2012 5:52 PM
Oh man... Jack is going to be pissed when he sees that burn hole in the carpet from the ashes you just dropped.
Oh... YOU'RE JACK? Sorry. Well nice to meet you in person Jack. Say, do ya think I could get editing privileges for Christmas? I just hate having my sloppy spelling out there in cyberspace for ever.
No, my date is NOT a stripper... she's a DANCER.

Well I would have if I had one anymore.
Posted by sally | December 20, 2012 5:57 PM
There is a strange heavy set man in black glasses, with his fly open, standing on the front porch with a teenager? Is he invited?
Posted by Portland Native | December 20, 2012 5:59 PM
I'm at the store. Do you guys have a preference?
Posted by Jack Bog | December 20, 2012 6:04 PM
Get the cheap cuts....we are all to drunk to care and everything tastes really really good to me right now!
Posted by Portland Native | December 20, 2012 6:07 PM
Good point.
Posted by Jack Bog | December 20, 2012 6:08 PM
Merry Christmas Jack! Those potstickers look youumy! And little Stenchford, my how you've grown! [scritch scritch under chin -- hind leg thumps.]
Posted by Old Zeb | December 20, 2012 6:12 PM
I'm gonna stick to the Makers Mark and Diet Coke and back off that green stuff you got there. (I would indulge, but I need to drive home in one piece.)
Thanks for the party Jack. You give a voice to the Libertarian Light/Moderate Liberal crowd a voice in a town that has twisted the progressive cause into a taxpayer fed trough for the unions and developers. You make a difference with this blog, and I am looking forward to your relentless finger in the eye of those who undermine what it really stands for. (sorry for getting so serious, but I tend to go off when I'm a little tipsy...and what happens here stays here...right?)
Posted by Usual Kevin | December 20, 2012 6:13 PM
Hey, there are a couple of county business tax auditors here. They're asking if the lady with ltjd is current on her license fee.
Posted by Jack Bog | December 20, 2012 6:13 PM

bUT WE r out of Pendletltoonn . Wanna swinng bye the liquor store for nother?
Posted by ltjd | December 20, 2012 6:14 PM
mmmmm, hot oil for the 'stickers.... Say, sometimes you see -- on the menu -- in a Chinese restaurant a little tagline saying that pot stickers are "Chinese ravioli." Do you suppose that someplace on the planet there is a menu that says that ravioli are Italian pot stickers?
Posted by Old Zeb | December 20, 2012 6:16 PM
The Porterhouse, of course.
I ain't drunk yet!
Posted by Starbuck | December 20, 2012 6:16 PM
BTW, I will definitely go for some of that T-Bone.
Posted by Usual Kevin | December 20, 2012 6:17 PM
Posted by Jack Bog | December 20, 2012 6:18 PM
Merry Christmas Jack. This is my first time here. First timer here. Mind showing me where the bathroom is? I know I"ll need it later.
Posted by DB Cooper | December 20, 2012 6:20 PM
Don't let your cup out of your sight, DB. I overheard a couple of underdog players talking about spiking your drink before you pick this week.
Posted by Jack Bog | December 20, 2012 6:23 PM
Uh oh. Billy the cat's been spraying under the Christmas tree again.
Billy's a hummin' a tune...let's see:

with any body else but me....."

I'm at least an hour away from Krispie Treats, I don't care what color(s) they are.
Posted by sally | December 20, 2012 6:29 PM
I'm a little worried about Paul Ryan:
Posted by Jack Bog | December 20, 2012 6:30 PM
I am a life time away from crispy treats....no matter how much I smoke!
Posted by Portland Native | December 20, 2012 6:30 PM
Aak! i think the bacalau had bones in it--
Can I get a Heimlich? Anyone?
Posted by Skeez | December 20, 2012 6:33 PM
Dammit, that was supposed to be for Christmas Eve. Oh well.
Posted by Jack Bog | December 20, 2012 6:35 PM
That's Paul Ryan?
I volunteer to give him a very stern talking to.
Posted by sally | December 20, 2012 6:36 PM
He's letting himself go.
Posted by Jack Bog | December 20, 2012 6:41 PM
I'm hung up at a Clackastani check point. I'm gonna be late! Save me some stollen.
Posted by Mojo | December 20, 2012 6:45 PM
Two Mayans.
One says, "The tequila's ready."
The other says, "Well, I guess if I don't finish this calendar, it won't be the end of the world."
Posted by Molly | December 20, 2012 6:48 PM
Allan L. whispered in my ear that the bathroom is clear, so I'm taking Rep. Ryan in there to explain to him why they lost.
Could be a while.
Posted by sally | December 20, 2012 6:53 PM
Posted by Jack Bog | December 20, 2012 6:57 PM
Good one Molly
And with that I sip down my second shot of Don Julio 1942
Posted by gibby | December 20, 2012 6:58 PM
Posted by Jack Bog | December 20, 2012 7:00 PM
Took me an hour of going through Jack's cupboards to find the good stuff.
Posted by gibby | December 20, 2012 7:03 PM
Hey Jack,
Some of these people are strange.
Were they all invited?
And where's the fancy mug I used last year.
Is this food outsourced?
I smell pot. Yuck. Who's dirty plate is this?
Change the music.
Can I sing? You have karaoke don't you?
I told you last year I wanted it.
Somebody stinks real bad. Jaaaack.
Where are you? You need to deal with all this crap.
I'm not leaving.
:)
Posted by Clackistani | December 20, 2012 7:03 PM
...no, I'm sure it's pronounced cru-dit-TAY -- just like John big-boo-TAY.
Posted by Old Zeb | December 20, 2012 7:10 PM
Jack -
just checked the hot tub to make sure your rules were being followed. Did you invite Queen Charlotte? She's looking like a prune - someone ought to tell her her time is up!
Posted by Nolo | December 20, 2012 7:11 PM
Hi all,
I noticed a party gift left on the steps as I was coming in, a bucket of fluoride with a big red bow, most likely a parting gift from Leonard if anyone wants to shake some up for a fluoride cocktail.
Just kidding, but our council isn't, they really want us to drink that stuff.
Thought I would report good ole Nick went along with the Sam Rand twins today on the vote. No surprise there.
But hey, for starters the best drink in the house for me is some good Bull Run water please. (sans fluoride)
Posted by clinamen | December 20, 2012 7:12 PM
Hey, Jack I had to make these hors d'oeuvres in your kitchen because I was running late. Where's your compost bucket?
Posted by reader | December 20, 2012 7:19 PM
Reeko probably took it up to the guest room.
Posted by Jack Bog | December 20, 2012 7:20 PM
Why not, c-man -- most Portlandianz drank the Kool-Aid. Yesss, I know Flavor Aid....
Posted by Old Zeb | December 20, 2012 7:22 PM
I'm too tired to party but needed to stop by to feel better. Why is Stenchy sniffing my ankle?
Posted by To Tired to Party | December 20, 2012 7:22 PM
I thought this was a potluck. I don't mean the pot stuff, I mean the old fashioned food kind. So here is my contribution - I think this will go especially well with Jack's grilled meats! Try some!

Posted by Nolo | December 20, 2012 7:23 PM
Damn! By the time I got here, sally had eaten the last of the prosciutto-wrapped asparagus. Those looked yummy after a long drive through the snow and ice from the Midwest. But I'll take one of sally's brandy alexanders in exchange.
Oh, wait, I don't drink anymore. Guess I'll go introduce myself to Stenchy and see what he's up to.
Posted by talea | December 20, 2012 7:23 PM
Do not go under the mistletoe when Reeko is around.
Posted by Jack Bog | December 20, 2012 7:30 PM
I did, however, bring a box of Chiefs jerseys for those who want them. I found them behind a dumpster at Arrowhead Stadium.
Posted by talea | December 20, 2012 7:30 PM
Allan L. whispered in my ear that the bathroom is clear,
You may want to wait until Adm. Leonard comes over and hoses it down.
Posted by Allan L. | December 20, 2012 7:31 PM
Hey everybody, sorry I'm late but judging by the two Portland Police units watching the house from across the street I'd say the party's just getting started! Jack, I left a tray of rum balls in the kitchen.
Posted by Rich | December 20, 2012 7:32 PM
Whoa...that was a good j.
Got any Chex mix?
Posted by dg | December 20, 2012 7:33 PM
Have another hit, you can always go home on Tri-Met.
Posted by Jack Bog | December 20, 2012 7:35 PM
With the holidays upon us, I would like to share a personal experience with my friends about drinking and driving. As you may know, some of us have been known to have brushes with the authorities from time to time on the way home after a "social session" out with friends.
Well, last weekend, I was out for an evening with friends and had several cocktails followed by some rather nice red wine. Feeling buzzed, I still had the sense to know that I may be slightly over the limit. That's when I did something that I've never done before… I took a cab home instead of calling one of my kids for a ride.
Sure enough, on the way home, there was a police road block, but since it was a cab, they waved me past. I arrived home safely without incident.
This was a real surprise as I had never driven a cab before, I don't know where I got it, and now that it's in my garage, I don't know what to do with it.
Merry Christmas

After a drink of my good water, I am ready to have a tequila toast with Portland Native - cheers despite all, who knows what kind of surprises are in for us in 2013!
Let us hope we like them!
Thanks Jack for the party and the music! It really gets one in the spirit of being here and dancing around the room with my water and tequila, and mingling with those who care about the goings on, what could be better!
By the way, I haven't seen Mr. Grumpy.
What about Major Dewche? Don't think Jack really likes him commenting, he gets too rank, but then he might fit right in at the party tonight.

Posted by Concordbridge | December 20, 2012 8:15 PM
They'll never have an app for this.
Jack, the dark window limo on the side street is rocking on its springs kinda busy. Did you arrange for it? That lady over there with the fur trim boots and Santa top said she could get me inside for the After Party while your party's going on.
Is there a extra platter of oysters I could take out?
Posted by Tenskwatawa | December 20, 2012 8:16 PM
Oh no -- did I just hear the pony keg go out? These people can sure pound them.

Best food. Best drinks. Best host. Best cyber-party EVER. If I stay up any later, I'll hear reindeer on the roof. Soon the serious people will storm the barricades.

Isn't that Sam Adams' pickup that just ran into the fence?
Sammy may have been checking to see if Jack was recycling properly, or who knows he might have wanted to actually help for all the trouble he has caused and was planning to take the party recycling discards on his pickup so that Jack wouldn’t complain next week about the garbage.

Christmas comes to Portland: The Blazers recently set the record for 3-point futility at 0 for 20. Tonight the Nuggets went 0 for 22.
Frankly, Denver shot like they had attended this party.
We're out from under the record and it only took a couple of weeks. That's a great sign for good fortune in the New Year.

“ BOJACK STORM CENTER ALERT”
It’s snowing, I repeat, snowing on the Sylvan overpass! Oh, wait; it’s just some Styrofoam peanuts on the side of the road.
Posted by Bad Brad | December 20, 2012 10:35 PM
I was actually up on the Sylvan overpass yesterday. It was too wet for comfort.

Just in the Nick of time, I heard we can watch the ascendancy
of certain fishes so I brought Cognac (10 bottles) just in case
we all drop into the Fault at Washington Park where Adam and
Eve can be found tonight waltzing into the Mayan Horizons. That is the latest hot item in PDX that I luckily remembered to rent
before the last one was taken off the lot. Some fellow in a fireman's outfit was giving them out for free. Now that's a great
way to celebrate, don't you think?

Why am I driving to Beaverton? I live in NE Portland. I’m on the right side of the highway, so at least I got that going for me!

Just heard on my police scanner that Mayor Scam has ordered Reese to arrest all at your party, and not to send the mental health trained cops. I'll be under the rose bush.

Wow! That was really a long drive from Reno and those OSP troopers gave the case of low tax Nevada liquor in the back of my SUV a real long look.
Well I'm going to crack open a bottle of that 12 year old Appleton Estate Rum and have a nice drink.
By the way, was that Sam Adams passed out in the pickup truck down the block?
Posted by Dave A. | December 20, 2012 10:48 PM
They'll never take Stenchy alive.

Uh-oh. Here comes Jefferson. He's got a big grin on his face, too.
Posted by Mojo | December 20, 2012 10:51 PM
I hope you don't mind Jack, but I put baby elephant Lily in your backyard. One problem though, some guy who looks like Waylon Jennings followed me from the Zoo and is trying to ride her now.
Posted by NoPoGuy | December 20, 2012 10:51 PM
Oh yeah!

Is Jefferson bringing fire dancers and jugglers with him?
That might have been him doing cartwheels.
Posted by clinamen | December 20, 2012 10:59 PM
Take a look out Jack's picture window. Is that Scott (soon to be
mayor) walking with his wolf pack and now....he's heading for the fireman? Your party is getting lively now.
Posted by sleuthjean | December 20, 2012 11:02 PM
Ok, I’m back! I forgot I had dibs on the spare bedroom. Now, if I can just find my wife?
Posted by Bad Brad | December 20, 2012 11:19 PM
Brad, is that your wife over there passed out behind the couch?
Posted by Rich | December 20, 2012 11:29 PM
You might not want that spare bedroom anymore,
I thought earlier Stenchy and friend were going up there with a cartload of food!
Posted by clinamen | December 20, 2012 11:35 PM
It wouldn’t be the first time she slept on the couch. I’d say that’s close enough, I’m off to the spare bedroom, now if only I had some ear plugs.

Things are getting lively in the backyard too!
Ole Nick who has been hiding (the one who gives the third vote for Sam Rands)
and the real Santa who just slid in with his reindeer and sled are having words.

“HEY” could you keep it quiet down there! Some of us have to work tomorrow, err…..today.

Posted by Mojo | December 21, 2012 12:18 AM
Stenchy gave some of his loot to the reindeer, told them there's plenty more here where that came from.
Reindeer told Stenchy that Santa is tired of it all and looking forward to the Mayan end
and make pretend games.
He landed here for some of that Cognac!

Hey...it looks like the world didn't come to an end. Sweet!

(Blink, blink) Where am I? My head hurts. It stinks in here. Why am I on the floor? Ouch! Everything hurts! Oh,yeah, Jack's party was last night. Did't I do this last year - fall asleep on a sofa and then wind up on the floor? Well, I should probably get home now before the rest of the bums wake up. At least I can lie about when I actually left if I go now.
Looks like Queen Charlotte never made it out of the hot tub. Someone ought to check her for a pulse, she looks dead. Stepping over a few bodies here - didn't know rats could pass out too. I thought they were nocturnal creatures, but some have become rather humanized. There's Brad's car outside but he's long gone - hope he got home safely somehow. Never heard a word from Mrs. Bog all night. I saw her around, but she must have taken the kids to a hotel at some point? I'm sure Jack's in the Bog house if he doesn't get this place (the spare room!) cleaned before the relatives hit town for Christmas. Anyway, she's a saint for letting us abuse her home like this!
Thanks for a good time Jack. This was my 3rd go-around and when my headache dulls and mind clears, I will remember none of it and be ready for next year. Merry Christmas everyone! (If the world doesn't end today -there's still time you know!).

Time to go to work. Where are my shoes? Oh, and my wife?
Posted by Bad Brad | December 21, 2012 7:04 AM
Great Party, Jack!
Todd Champagne rarely gives one a hangover...
The world didn't end...at least not yet and I somehow managed to get home, and go to sleep in my own bed!

Well, the apocalypse came in right on schedule. So much for the Maya doubters.
So this is Hell. I didn't really expect to be here myself, but apart from that, no surprises so far.

As for the Earth-shattering kaboom or lack thereof, mind if I share some wisdom from my childhood role model?

Posted by Jack Bog | December 21, 2012 10:02 AM
I drove by and saw the crowd, but didn't realize it was Jack's party - I thought it was a glorious realization of urban density.
Posted by Isaac Laquedem | December 21, 2012 10:35 AM
I meant Good champagne....well not as alert as I thought!
Posted by Portland Native | December 21, 2012 11:04 AM
Jack,
You're not imagining it. That really is a baby elephant in your backyard.
(NoPoGuy, you really cracked me up with that.)
Posted by Bill McDonald | December 21, 2012 11:20 AM
I think I ate a bad anchovy...
Posted by Jack Bog | December 21, 2012 2:06 PM
Is there a good anchovy?
They're not meant to be munched. It's a seasoning, not a snack. :=)
Your cyberparty was a helluva lot of fun. Pictures, posts, hilarious comments keeping it like a balloon in the air, ever-rotating soundtrack. Enormously festive end to an earnest well-done fundraising week. Never been to one of those before.
Now if I could just quit thinking about Paul Ryan.
Posted by sally | December 21, 2012 5:26 PM
Jack, will you DJ at my next party?
Great tunes!
